Some users have AIM set up to start once the system boots. Removing that entry....disables AIM from running at system startup and the program must be launched manually. If you don't mind opeing the program that way...then leave it be. The point being...it wasn't malware related...so it didn't need to be fixed.
The entry is set to tell AIM to wait for an internet connection before trying to connect.
